So, I know that some people have asked for some drama and I had something in the works but wasn't very happy with it so I went a new direction. I will keep working on the drama aspect and see what I can come up with. Sorry this has taken forever! Between the chapter I was attempting to write that crashed and burned and work…this took longer then I wanted it to! Hope you like this though!

Chapter 10

Olivia smiled as she woke up and felt a small head snuggled into her chest. Without opening her eyes she reached up and stroked her daughter's hair as she kissed her crown. She didn't think it was possible but her smile actually widened when she opened her eyes and saw her lover sleeping across from her. Leaning over the four year old between them she pressed her lips to Casey's, gradually increasing the pressure until she felt the other woman respond.

The younger woman smiled groggily when they broke a part, "Morning."

"Morning," Olivia smiled.

Casey linked the fingers together and kissed the back of Olivia's hand, "What time did you get in?"

"Around 3:00. I was surprised to see her in here with you."

Casey kissed the back of her daughter's head, "She was pretty upset when you weren't home at bedtime last night. She hasn't seen you much lately. She misses you. I miss you."

"You see me at work!" Olivia chuckled.

"That's not the same!"

The brunette agreed, "Yeah that's true. I will be so glad when this case is over with. I will make it a point to drop by the daycare more often and see her during the day."

"She would love that," Casey smiled.

The mother's were silent for a while, just content to be with each other and their little girl. Olivia beamed as she kissed Braya's brown hair once again.

"Let's have another one."

The detective's statement caught the redhead off guard, "Have another one or get another one?"

"You say 'get another one' like we can just go to the store and buy one! And either way it doesn't matter to me, but what do you think about giving little Braya here a brother or sister?" Olivia laughed.

Casey paused for a moment, more 3am feedings, constant diaper changing, maternity leave, the challenge of having a new baby and a 4 year old. She smiled at Olivia,

"Let's do it."

The couple decided to wait until their plans were more finalized before telling their daughter or their friends about having another baby. It was a drizzly Saturday afternoon when the lover's found themselves curled up together on the couch while their daughter was down for a nap. They were looking through a book of sperm donors just as they had 5 years before. They had decided to try to have a child one time but if it didn't work then they would look into adoption.

"I swear to God this guy was an option last time too!" Olivia said point to a man's picture, "If his product is still available then it's probably not worth much!"

Casey giggled, "Maybe he is just an avid donor."

"EW!" Olivia chuckled while she playfully hit Casey with a throw pillow.

Two months later the couple was experiencing déjà vu all over again. They were sitting together on the couch while waiting for the timer to go off. Olivia could tell that the younger woman was nervous. She wrapped her arms around Casey and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Why does this feel harder to sit through then it did last time?"

Olivia chuckled, "Really, I feel like it's easier this time."

"Maybe that's because it's not your uterus we are depending on!"

The detective laughed again, "Maybe so, but remember – if this happens it's because it's meant to be. If not, then we will find another baby that's in need of love."

"I know," Casey sighed, "how much more time do you think we have?"

"Not much longer now I'm sure."

As of on cue, the timer in the kitchen went off. Together they rose and crossed to the dining room table where the pregnancy test was sitting. Both parents were thankful now more then ever that Alex had offered to take Braya for the evening. She was the only one that knew that the couple was attempting to have baby number 2.

Just as they had twice before, the couple stopped and kissed each other soundly before reading the test results.

"This is it!" Casey smiled nervously.

Olivia kissed her lightly one last time, "I love you."

"I love you more."

Casey slowly lifted the white stick and turned it so they could both read it:

PREGNANT.

Neither woman needed words to explain their excitement. Their lips came together as they slowly made their way down the hallway to celebrate.

The couple decided to keep their latest baby news a secret until they knew for sure that everything was going to be ok. They didn't want to have to go through a public miscarriage again. Casey had been nervous about the possibility of miscarrying again but they took it one step at a time.

Thirteen weeks later, Casey and Olivia walked out of their doctor's office beaming with happiness.

"Oh my God, look at it Liv!" Casey said holding up the latest sonogram photo, "That's our baby!"

Olivia smiled, "It sure is!"

The detective was so excited to see her lover so happy. She had been worried these past few months about whether or not the pregnancy was actually going to last but it seemed as though the visit to the doctor's office had eased those fears.

As they reached the car, Olivia went to open the passenger side door for the pregnant ADA but was unable to when she found herself pressed up against it before Casey assaulted her lips with her own. The brunette's arms instantly went around Casey's waist as the couple shared an intimate moment not caring who was passing them by on the street. They both smiled when the pulled apart gasping for breath.

Olivia rested her forehead against Casey's as she said, "I love you."

"I love you more," Casey told her, "Now let's go tell the guys!"

The whole squad was ecstatic to hear the couple's news! The Captain gave Olivia the afternoon off so that they could share the news with everyone at the DA's office as well. Now that their friends knew they only had one more person left to tell. The one person who was going to have the most questions…Braya.

The mother's picked their little girl up from daycare a few hours early and took her for a walk in Central Park. They were all curled up together in Sheep Meadow eating ice cream when Olivia broached the subject.

"Braya, honey, Mama and I have something to tell you!"

"Yep, we have a surprise for you." Casey said.

The four year old became very excited, "Is it a new toy?"

"No, sweetie," Olivia said, "It's not a toy."

"You know how Eli has brothers and sisters?" Casey asked. Braya nodded while she continued to lick at her ice cream cone. "Well, you're going to have a little brother or sister."

The little girl seemed confused, "Where's it gonna come from?"

"Well," Olivia began to explain, "the baby is growing inside Mama's tummy right now." The detective placed her hand on Casey's stomach which had already started to grow a little. She had been wearing baggy clothes for the past few weeks to hide it from their friends.

"Babies grow inside the Mommy's tummy and when they are old enough then they will come out." Casey told her. Neither of them really wanted to go into the whole scenario with her just yet.

"Did I come out of there?" Braya asked curiously as she pointed to Casey's stomach.

Casey and Olivia both looked at each other wide eyed, this was a question they were hoping would not come up. Olivia pulled their little girl into her lap,

"Sweetie, you did come out of someone's tummy but you didn't come out of Mama's."

Braya interrupted her before she could continue, "Did I come out of your's?" She asked poking Olivia's stomach.

"Well, no, honey," she paused for a moment trying to figure out how to word everything, "You came out of someone else's tummy but she needed us to take care of you. She helped us have you."

"Is she ever coming back?"

"No, sweetie, she helped bring you to us because Mommy and I wanted to have a baby so badly. We love you so much and we know that we were meant to be your Mommies." Casey told her as she rained kisses in the little girl's hair.

"Are you going to love the new baby more then me?"

"No, baby," Casey said, "That's not possible!"

"We are going to love the new baby just as much as we love you but there is no way that we could love them more. You're our little angel. You're both our little angels." Olivia explained.

"Am I going to have a brother or a sister?" Both parents were happy that their little girl seemed to be excepting the idea and had dropped they current subject.

Casey answered, "We don't know yet. We will just have to wait and see."

"Can we go on the Merry-Go-Round?"

Olivia and Casey both chuckled at the complete change in topic,

"Sure we can!" Olivia said before she pressed one more kiss to Braya's forehead and lifted her off her lap. They each took their daughter's hand as they made their way to the ride.

"I hope the baby likes going on the Merry-Go-Round! It will be fun to take my little brother or sister on it!"

Both women beamed as they heard the daughter list all the things she wanted to share with her new little brother or sister. They couldn't wait until the new addition to their family was finally there!

Do you think Casey and Olivia should have a boy or a girl?
